The unexpected and unexplored ways that ice has transformed a nation-from the foods Americans eat, to the sports they play, to the way they live today-and what its future might look like on a swiftly warming planet. Ice is everywhere: in gas stations, in restaurants, in hospitals, in our homes. Americans think nothing of dropping a few ice cubes into tall glasses of tea to ward off the heat of a hot summer day. Most refrigerators owned by Americans feature automatic ice machines. Ice on-demand has so revolutionized modern life that it's easy to forget that it wasn't always this way-and to overlook what aspects of society might just melt away as the planet warms.
